This is from the ACLU letter to the school district: The flags are pictured at the link below. I had to look up 2SLGBTQ+ it means Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer and the + means Intersex, Asexual.

I agree that school guidelines should be consistent but he wasn't fired for hanging flags, he was fired for refusing to take them down after being asked/told twice. The First Amendment protects teachers and students from such discriminatory censorship of certain viewpoints in the classroom." "It cannot be the school’s policy that certain flags in certain classrooms are tolerable, while the same flags in another teacher’s classroom are inappropriate. "Public schools cannot wantonly decide, on the whim of certain administrators, which teachers may display certain decorations in their classroom and which teachers may not," Roberts said.
GAY PRIDE FLAG TEACHER FREE
Rathe for failure to remove Pride flags from a 2SLGBTQ+ teacher’s classroom, unguided by any written policy, is an inherently arbitrary and prejudiced attack on free speech and free association," wrote Hanna Roberts, staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of Oklahoma, in a Monday letter to Jenks Public Schools. Rathe says he was first placed on administrative probation and then subsequently fired by administrators on Friday when he again refused to remove the flags. Tyler Rathe, a seventh-grade science teacher, claims he was asked to remove several versions of pride flags from the walls of his classroom, where he says he hung flags representing his students' communities, identities and countries of origin. Given the racism in Oklahoma and what's currently happening in the courts with local tribes and land I'm surprised by this not being mentioned. This happened in Oklahoma and one of the flags is a Red Power flag.
